Canon G7091 Ink Absorber Full Reset
An absorber warning on Canon G7091 does not necessarily mean that the printer is mechanically damaged. The software counter and the physical pads must be considered separately.
What the Canon G7091 service message means
An absorber message concerns both software and maintenance. The counter can be reset, while heavily saturated pads may still need cleaning or replacement.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon G7091. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
